BBM Women’s Wrestling Cards 2022 Checklist and Review
|
Release Date: April 12th, 2022
Base Cards in Set: 138 Regular Cards, 17 “Secret” Base Card Variations, and 9 Insert Cards
Cost per Box: 8,800 Yen
Where to Purchase: Various online third party vendors (Buyee, Rakuten, eBay, etc.)
Of all the wrestling card releases, the BBM women’s set (formally called True Heart) is my favorite. Not just because I am a fan of Joshi wrestling, although that is clearly a factor, but because of how in-depth it is and the wrestlers put a lot of effort into their signatures. No quick squiggly line autographs here, as they really go all out to make them unique, with some adding extra text or pictures within their signature. It is truly a unique set and the time the wrestlers put into their cards is appreciated.
This year, every box of BBM Women’s Wrestling Cards 2022 has four autographs, with the possibility of getting a fifth autograph in the form of a Cheki. This is a great value for only ~$80, which was the retail price of the box. The BBM Joshi card releases always sell out at retail within a week as it is both popular and limited, so its definitely one you want to pre-order if you are interested. Like last year, the 2022 set has a wide variety of autograph types – regular, secret, insert, silver insert, super secret, and Chekis. Not all wrestlers of course have an autograph in each variation, so be sure to check out the full checklist below to see what your favorite wrestler has. Some bad news – the following wrestlers have a base card but no autograph cards: ASUKA, Riko Kaiju, Emi Sakura, Nanae Takahashi, Arisa Nakajima, Rina Yamashita, Yoshiko, and Lulu Pencil. Most of these wrestlers are affiliated (officially or loosely) with SEAdLINNNG so not sure what happened there, while some may have been in the United States when the cards were signed. Its disappointing, but with the pandemic still raging some issues were bound to arise and overall its an impressive autograph checklist. Wrestlers from Tokyo Joshi Pro, Ice Ribbon, Diana, OZ Academy, Gatoh Move, JUST TAP OUT, Marvelous, PURE-J, Sendai Girls’, and WAVE all are represented in this set (along with various Freelancers), with the only exclusion being Stardom as they have not been part of the BBM Joshi card sets since 2012.
Speaking of the pandemic, one other side effect is all the cards have sticker autographs again this year. BBM addressed this and acknowledged this is not their preference – they prefer on-card autographs. But with COVID restrictions, shows getting cancelled, wrestlers being quarantined, etc. if they did on-card autographs it is likely even more wrestlers would have been missing. I prefer on-card autographs like everyone else, but under these conditions I understand, and at least the wrestlers were really good at staying on the sticker as the stickers were quite large. Overall, it is a very impressive set with a great value, I loved opening every box I did and wish I had even more to open. Highly recommended for any Joshi fan, even if you are not a big card collector the autographs are really fun and you are bound to find something you will enjoy.
Without further ado, the full checklist!
